A friend of my father was a die maker for Milton Bradly, he could put together jigsaw puzzles face down... the puzzles, not him.
Although he could do it three sheets to the wind, not face down.

I have thought of the upside-down thing, but never the mixing.

An underground fuel tank won't stay underground if it's empty and there is ground water to float it up.

They had ready mix concrete trucks lined up for a half mile in both directions to fill both tanks.

Swimming pools are supposed to have a hydrostatic relief valve that equalizes the water level inside and outside the pool.
If not, you can get a nice boat that floats up out of the ground (until it crumbles). They used to make concrete boats. Boots too, I guess.. |

That's odd Jim, swimming pools are usually full to almost the top so I don't see how outside water would be high enough to float it.
I guess some people drain their pool in winter though. Those one piece fiberglass pools that look like a big boat before they're installed might be easy to float.

Draining the pool for maintenance or whatever is just the time when the pool level might be lower than the water table and up it comes.
With the extreme cost of installing (or re-installing) a pool, this is to be avoided. The valve I mentioned is about 30 bucks. |

Tell me about it!
Water = bad news. Too risky.

Yeah, my neighborhood pool is drained for the winter. But we're high up on a hill, so no groundwater issues.
